4. Medicines Transparency Alliance Overall challenges Current political situation with constrained government management (poor transparency and accountability) Private sector involvement limited due to inadequate information on how to engage in MeTA process How to show the benefit of MeTA to every sector Poor leadership of MeTA Council due to conflict of interest (Director of DRA is chairman of MeTA Council) Overcoming conflict of Interest and engagement between sectors (better understanding of each other & role of each sector in the country) Active promotion of MeTA was not possible because of political situation 18/12/20154

5. Medicines Transparency Alliance Lessons Learned Different background of MeTA Council Member complicate the dialogue Development of Criteria for management of MeTA Council requires wider consideration than sectoral interest Engagement of Multi stakeholder is a Process and takes time Requires skills to engage and manage the different sectors (particularly to listen to the other sector and increase awareness) MSP requires good facilitation and these skills need to be development and learnt Power in numbers… (when we are many we are stronger) Benefit is important: Private sector wants to be involved more active in Legislation issues. Media strategy for promoting MeTA it must be at the beginning of process 18/12/20155
